Massage for fibrous mastopathy of the mammary glands

Mastopathy is fibrocystic nodules that have appeared in the mammary glands. The cause of the disease is hormonal imbalance. Mostly women over 40 years old are ill, who have unresolved gynecological issues in the anamnesis.

Massage is considered a good preventive procedure for a disease. However, experts do not always approve of such a procedure if a diagnosis has been made. Therefore, it is not recommended to self-medicate, it is imperative to consult a doctor.

Why massage is useful

Treatment of mastopathy should be comprehensive. After a complete diagnosis and identification of the individual characteristics of a woman's body, the attending doctor will be able to draw up a general course. Despite the fact that there are health problems, most women constantly go to massage and beauty salons, and also keep an eye on their figure.

Massage is considered a non-specific therapeutic method that helps in the presence of pathologies associated with soft tissues and the musculoskeletal system. Breast massage is not a very common procedure, as a general massage of the whole body is often performed.

The peculiarities of the effect of the procedure on the body are associated with warming up the tissues and increasing blood flow in them. Due to this, the delivery of oxygen and nutrients is improved, the regeneration process is accelerated, and swelling and pain are reduced.

Massage with fibrous mastopathy is permissible, since such a procedure has a beneficial effect on the body.

However, there are 2 limitations:

• only certain areas of the body are subject to massaging;
• the treating doctor must have no suspicions of a malignant tumor.

At the stage of drawing up a treatment course, the specialist must organize a plan, which will include various procedures. Physiotherapeutic procedures often include therapeutic massage of the mammary glands, back and abdomen. If these procedures are performed continuously, the patient will feel relief, which will affect a quick recovery.

However, the massage procedure should be carried out directly by a professional massage therapist, since he knows what techniques in this case are permissible to apply. Otherwise, the condition of the body can be aggravated, which entails the development of serious complications.

When massaging the mammary glands, it is permissible to determine seals, reduce swelling, and also eliminate pain syndrome with discomfort. With the regular implementation of the procedure, you can establish the disease at the initial stage. If you immediately contact a specialist and take appropriate measures, the recovery period will be successful.

The massage procedure stops the process of transition of a benign tumor into a malignant one. At the same time, it allows you to improve the functioning of the mammary glands at the hormonal and structural level.

The benefits of massage:

• collagen production is activated;
• muscle fibers become more elastic;
• you can relieve pain in the chest area;
• swelling of tissues decreases.

Carrying out a massage for mastopathy will depend on the general well-being. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, swelling of the chest, mastodynia often occurs, while there is pain in the chest area if you lie on your stomach. As a result, pressing and massaging movements will be painful and unpleasant. In this regard, it is necessary to carry out a massage procedure in the first half of the menstrual cycle or before the onset of unpleasant sensations.

When is massage contraindicated for mastopathy?

Massage with fibrous mastopathy can be performed independently. However, it is best to seek help from a specialist - a mammologist. When the fibroids are small, the procedure should consist of lightly stroking the mammary glands in the direction of the lymphatic flow. It is contraindicated to carry out pressing and abrupt manipulations. At the same time, before performing the massage, it is required to master various technologies for performing the procedure on your own.

However, in some cases, a massage procedure can negatively affect your overall health.

Therefore, it is contraindicated to carry out with the following problems:

• high body temperature, more than 38º;
• individual intolerance to the funds used by a specialist;
• on the skin of the mammary glands there are allergic rashes, ulcers and wounds;
• with suspicion of a malignant formation;
• manifestation of an allergic reaction to vitamin complexes and saline solutions, which are used at the stage of the procedure;
• breast injury.

If a viral infection occurs, for example, hepatitis, flu or a cold, back massage with mastopathy can increase the manifestation of the disease. As a result, this will negatively affect the woman's health.

Back massage is negative if the following pathologies have been established:

• adenoids;
• asthma;
• diseases of the respiratory system and lungs, which have a chronic form;
• various forms of pneumonia.

In case of viral diseases, the attending doctor can prescribe such a procedure only if the patient does not able to get up on his own due to age-related or physiological changes, as well as if he is in coma.

Restrictions on the implementation of massage procedures for infectious diseases are associated with the fact that any internal organ can be affected due to increased blood flow during spinal massaging area. The infected cells are able to spread throughout the circulatory system. Occasionally, your doctor may prescribe intravenous saline during or after your procedure. This is required in order to reduce the concentration of viral cells in the body.

It is undesirable to go to SPA salons, since the procedure should be of a therapeutic nature. In this case, the massage therapist must provide a certificate that he has completed special courses. Instead of a beauty salon, it is recommended to visit a massage room, which is located in a clinic or hospital.

If you can't go to the massage room regularly, it is permissible to carry out the procedure yourself at home. However, this must be approved by the attending physician. With a lack of experience or knowledge, the technology of the procedure can lead to chest trauma.

During the massage, it is not recommended to perform intense and fast movements, as well as jerks and abrupt manipulations. When massaging the mammary glands, all movements should be slow and without pressure, while they should be directed relative to the lymphatic system.

1. Take a warm shower before the procedure. Dry the breast with a soft nap towel, excluding rubbing of the mammary glands.
2. Wash hands with soap. Apply a moisturizing oil or nourishing cream to your palms.
3. Add essential oils to the massage product. For example, lemon balm, sage, mint or lavender. They will make the massage more effective.

As a result, a more intensive supply of oxygen to the internal organs begins due to a uniform and strong blood flow. As a result, the protective properties of the organism begin to activate.

Breast massage methods

• The second method is based on quickly rubbing the skin in the chest area and kneading the mammary glands. Through rhythmic movements, blood vessels can be dilated. In this case, small fibrous formations will be reduced and resolved. At the end of the massage session, it is required to shake the mammary glands with your fingers or palms. Such movements create a vibration that frees the lymph flow.
• The third way is relaxing. It consists of light superficial movements, as well as strokes against the lymph nodes, according to the lymph flow. Initially, massage movements should be slow and light. Closer to the middle, the rhythm should increase, upon completion of the procedure, it should decrease again.

Additionally, it is required to relax the muscles of the dorsal region and the neck-collar zone. However, massage of the dorsal zone contributes to an increase in mastopathic nodes, since blood flow increases. In this regard, this procedure must be carried out in a sitting position, taking into account the risk of mastopathy.
